Has anyone had success using ONLY Mfp's calorie goals? Meaning you have lost weight consistently by going by what Mfp says your calorie goals should be?
I have a sit down job and sit for 8 hrs a day. I only get up to get water and fix my lunch BUT..I workout 4-5 times a week and burn from 150-300 depending on my exercise of choice that day..
**Should I use mfp's sedentary and eat back exercise calories or set myself at lightly active and NOT eat back exercise calories?**
To lose 1 lb a week mfp gives me 1550 @ lightly active and 1330 at sedentary based off all of my personal information.
I still have about 45-50 lbs I want to lose so I am not interested in the TDEE method at this time, I will look more into that once I get closer to my goal.
